Sweet Sixteen - The Aqua Lie release day thoughts

I can't believe the time has come around so quick!
I can't believe it's the day where i publish my sixteenth title!

SIXTEEN!!!

The inspiration for the Aqua Saga came to me through a dream. I nornally have vivid dreams, but this one was particularly crazy vivid!

At first the whole idea seemed crazy, and at the very first instant it was! It didn't even make sense to me! So if it didn't make sense to the author, it probbaly wouldn't make sense to the reader. So i changed my alternatate roller rink world (Told you, cray cray!) to an underwater dystopian landscape. The dream was underwater as well, but i've always been in love with the dystopian genre and this seemed to fit.

Then there was the shark idea.

Another crazy weird idea that would never work, right? Wrong. I played with idea and asked my beta reader and a few other authors what they thought of humans morphing into sharks… they didn't hate it!

I've also always been obsessed with superhero stories and comic book characters, The Avengers, The Flash and Superman being some of my favourites and i thought, what if these humans in my story had been genetically modified as infants or experimented on by their evil general?

This was how the Aqua Saga was born.

I hope you like my cray cray story ;) I'm personally obsessed with Pym and Rush.

Book 2 in the Aqua Saga, The Aqua Lie is out now at all online retailers.
